Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 202 The Leftover Treasure

At the summit of Yujian Peak, inside the Sword Washing Pool, more than two hours had passed since Yu Changsheng and Shen Xingchen entered.

At this point, the two had reached the end of their physical tempering, so the atmosphere was more relaxed, and they could sit and chat.

"Actually, no matter how you look at it, your Beast Taming lineage was the main sect in the beginning. Even though it has declined now, it is still the mainstay."

"Looking back on the development of the Myriad Manifestations Sect over the years, those who have truly led the Myriad Manifestations Sect to further progress are all from your Beast Taming lineage."

Shen Xingchen sighed, glancing inadvertently at Yu Changsheng.

"Perhaps," Yu Changsheng said noncommittally.

"Now that Changsheng is here, it seems that the Beast Taming lineage is poised for a complete resurgence."

Shen Xingchen changed the subject and chuckled, his tone not sounding like a joke.

"Senior Brother Shen is joking."

Yu Changsheng waved his hand, but he felt a little strange and wary. Was this Senior Brother Shen trying to elevate me to the heavens?

"If we're really talking about guidance, we have to look to Senior Brother Shen. You're so young and you've already reached the Foundation Establishment stage of the eighth level of the Heavenly Spirit Platform."

Yu Changsheng offered a timely compliment.

"Chang Sheng is too modest. Aren't you too?" Shen Xingchen smiled slightly.

"Not at all, I'm only at the seventh level of the Spirit Platform, I can't compare to Senior Brother Shen," Yu Changsheng said with a wry smile, but he was generous and didn't try to hide anything.

Shen Xingchen was momentarily taken aback, a slight surprise flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure, her smile unchanged. She patted Yu Changsheng on the shoulder and said:

"It's alright. Seven levels is already very impressive, especially since you're a Beast Tamer. If you have the opportunity later, you can increase it further."

In fact, Shen Xingchen was indeed somewhat surprised. In his impression, Yu Changsheng's performance was too dazzling. He should at least be an eighth-level Heavenly Spirit Platform, and even a ninth-level one was not impossible.

A seventh-level cultivator is considered a genius by most people, and is rare even within the entire Myriad Manifestations Sect. They are highly valued by the sect, but with a shining star like Shen Xingchen in front of them, they don't seem so dazzling.

In fact, even in the future, when electing the chief disciple, Shen Xingchen will be given priority over Yu Changsheng.

Because the Foundation Establishment realm is particularly special, a difference of even one level in the Spirit Platform realm can lead to vastly different future achievements.

"Thank you for your comfort, Senior Brother Shen, but opportunities are hard to come by. We still need you to help us."

Yu Changsheng gave a bitter smile and went through with it, but he didn't really care about the matter.

He did have some regrets about the seventh floor, but he wasn't dissatisfied.

"Opportunities are something that will always come if you put your heart into it. Maybe you've already had one, but you just haven't noticed it."

Shen Xingchen spoke slowly, looking at Yu Changsheng with a meaningful gaze.

Yu Changsheng suddenly looked up, his brows furrowed slightly, and he touched his hair, looking puzzled. "What are you saying? Please explain, Senior Brother."

Shen Xingchen nodded, took a deep breath, his gaze deep and complex, and spoke leisurely.

"Do you know that the Four Swords of Annihilation have not been used for many years? Apart from Huang Suyu, the last time I saw the Four Swords of Annihilation was with Cao Jinxian."

"Apart from him, there aren't many specific methods for the Four Swords of Annihilation within the sect."

As Shen Xingchen spoke, a fiery glint flashed in his eyes. He turned his head, his expression ambiguous, and observed every change in her facial expression, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

"Hmm? What do you mean by that, Senior Brother Shen?"

Yu Changsheng frowned.

"What I mean is, apart from Cao Jinxian, it's probably very difficult for anyone else to know the method of the Four Swords of Annihilation, so..."

Shen Xingchen paused slightly, her eyes deepening with meaning, "Then tell me, how did Huang Suyu obtain it?"

"Moreover, I remember that when Huang Suyu fought against you, Changsheng, he had already reached the peak of the second level of Foundation Establishment, and that was not long after he broke through to Foundation Establishment."

"This cultivation speed can only be described as Huang Suyu's extraordinary talent. Foundation Establishment Pills are extremely rare and valuable. The fact that Huang Suyu was able to successfully establish his foundation after just one trip can truly be called a chosen one of destiny."

Shen Xingchen spoke at length, while Yu Changsheng remained silent, carefully considering and digesting her words. As he lowered his head, he gained some insights.

Shen Xingchen's words were no longer just a hint; anyone with common sense could figure out what he was trying to say by connecting them to what he had mentioned earlier.

"Perhaps Huang Suyu has a master mentoring him."

Yu Changsheng hesitated for a moment, and seeing that the atmosphere was still somewhat tense, he took the initiative to ask the question.

Shen Xingchen simply shook her head, then resumed her mysterious expression and winked at Yu Changsheng.

"I don't know the specifics; it's just my imagination, don't take it seriously."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"But... I only heard that since Cao Jinxian is a member of your Beast Taming lineage, if someone were to obtain his inheritance by chance, wouldn't they be set for life?"

Shen Xingchen spoke casually, "I know that Cao Jinxian was an amazing person throughout his life, but he only cultivated for a little over fifty years. He didn't find a disciple to inherit his mantle. Under such circumstances, he must have left something behind, right?"

Yu Changsheng's gaze narrowed slightly. He didn't speak, but suddenly looked up at Shen Xingchen, his mind racing with thoughts, and he began to have a guess.

"What else was in Huang Suyu's ring back then, besides the Four Swords of Annihilation?"

Yu Changsheng fell into deep thought.

"Besides the spirit stones, there's also a piece of animal hide that I can't understand. All I can tell is that it looks like a map. Could it be...?"

His mind raced, and Yu Changsheng's breathing quickened almost imperceptibly. A fleeting look of astonishment crossed his face as he lowered his gaze.

"Tell me, if someone were to accidentally obtain Cao Jinxian's inheritance, whether it's the swordsmanship inheritance or the beast taming inheritance, wouldn't they soar to the heavens and rise to prominence overnight? That's practically a godhood level being!"

Shen Xingchen sighed, her expression filled with admiration, and she smiled, her gaze fixed intently on Yu Changsheng.

"As far as I'm concerned, as a sword cultivator, if I could subdue this Xuan Tian Giant Sword, then I would have no regrets in this life."

Yu Changsheng remained silent, while Shen Xingchen continued speaking.

What Shen Xingchen said today didn't seem like a spur-of-the-moment thing, but rather something he had prepared for a long time. This inevitably aroused Yu Changsheng's suspicion. But why would he do this?

Yu Changsheng was suspicious and thought to himself:

"Unless, from the very beginning, Shen Xingchen suspected that I had clues about Cao Jinxian's legacy, or rather, suspected Huang Suyu, but after I killed Huang Suyu, he came to befriend me and test me..."

"In that case, everything makes sense."

Yu Changsheng sighed inwardly, and as he suddenly realized what was happening, he couldn't help but smile wryly and said:

"All of this is too far removed from our lives. Whether the so-called inheritance even exists is another matter entirely. Even if it does exist, we don't know where it is; we have no clue whatsoever."
